Did you know that the US government sterilized women with Operation Bootstrap (Operación Manos a la Obra) it was a 1947-1950s initiative by the US and Puerto Rican governments, led by Luis Muñoz Marín, to transform the island's agricultural economy into an industrial one. It lured US companies with tax exemptions and cheap labor, fostering manufacturing growth, but caused significant agricultural decline, massive migration to the US mainland, and widespread population displacement.

A lot of people say the answer is 40, but that's not it. Can you solve and find the right answer?

@davepl1968 @NoblesLawFirm sway bar fatigue?

Very, very different from a modern car. It RIDES better than my Mercedes - until you attempt to vector its mass any direction except where it's already going! Then its kind of a hippo on a bar stool - short wheelbase for a very big body, tippy suspension, and so on. Ironically this car has the "Cross Country Ride Package" which is supposed to be the FIRM ride!

This is the interior on my 1970 Continental Mark III with 12,000 miles... it cleaned up nicely!

@RDKLInc hint: you can hijack bios and virtualize CIA through cart port, dont even need to open it... simple passthrough on the cart port... if i had the hardware, i would build you one!!! and we can play robocop!!! 😁

@killnotsees You just don’t modify antiques for no reason. I have commodore 64s I can use. It’s not like that mod would give me anything meaningful

This Commodore 64GS is certainly one of my rarer items. Maybe the rarest. Also: Shadow of the Beast in a CARTRIDGE! Crazy.

@RDKLInc true... especially if you have other C64s.

Being in a place where birds are always singing is an underrated blessing

@RDKLInc its beautiful and ultra rare... i dont feel as if slight mods are desecration, but thats just me.

@killnotsees No, not going to desecrate this ultra rare item

@hackaday watchdog... done.

2026 Green Powered Challenge: Adding Low-Power Sleep To Microcontrollers ift.tt/EKLOseF

@Afghan_Engineer led diode should be after linear regulator... putting it before can expose it to unwanted voltage spikes from power lines.

Achieve 15V AC by using Stepdown transformer, then Convert this AC Supply into DC by using Bridge Rectifier module or Four 1N4007 diode bridge arrangement. Then This DC supply filtered by Capacitor C1 and LED indicates the presence of power supply.

@its_The_Dr you cant handle the truth!

What do you have?
